Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel headed down to her favorite vacation spot this week.  Bethenny and her daughter Bryn fled the cold of NYC and hit the sandy, sunny beaches in Miami. 

Bethenny showed off her bikini body as she walked the beach and then covered it up to look for seashells with Bryn.  Aside from digging in the sand, the two of them have been spending a lot of time in their hotel room watching kiddie movies and eating pizza.

Bethenny Tweeted, “Another big night out. We went to our hotel lobby to get candy in our pjs. In bed already eating pizza. #partyanimals.”  Adding, “It’s gettin’ wild over here. Watching “alvin & the chipmunks” eating @SkinnygirlBrand microwave popcorn #gettinhighonmyownsupply.”  

I’m a little jealous of her early bedtime. “After spending 5/6 nights in bed at 8pm watching Hotel Transylvania 2, I may get a little cray this nye. What do u suggest?”

Video: Apollo Nida Speaks From Prison About His Marriage To Phaedra Parks And Seeing His Kids!

phaedra parks apollo nida

phaedra parks apollo nida

TMZ is accepting collect calls from Federal Inmate Apollo Nida. Apollo answered questions about the status of his marriage (or rather, his divorce) from Phaedra Parks, staying in touch with his children, and relocating prisons. Apparently the new prison has better “ambiance”. Oh my…  

Recently Apollo agreed with his Real Housewives Of Atlanta star wife that prison is no place for The Prince and Mr. President to visit. Now he’s changed his opinion. “For my own mental sanity, I tried to kind of recognize where she [Phaedra] was coming from, but I never agreed on the fact that I did not want to see my children.” 

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

“I still want to see them,” says Apollo. “Regardless of where I’m at, I’m trying to find a common ground on how to parent them.” 

Apollo recently relocated from Lexington FMC in Kentucky to Ft. Dix in New Jersey. Soon he will be joined by another Bravolebrity. Joe Giudice will begin serving a sentence there in February. How fun – maybe they can have their own spinoff?! 

Since relocating to “a camp” rather than a traditional prison, Phaedra is now considering bringing Ayden, 5, and Dylan, 2, to visit Apollo “in the future couple weeks or maybe a month depending on her schedule.” 

“Hopefully that will go well,” acknowledges Apollo

In the prison camp Apollo has “a lot more leeway” in terms of prison jobs and responsibilities, and “there’s a lot less tension.”

“I’m not really behind a fence per se so the kids will not get that prison ambiance,” Apollo explains. AMBIANCE! Well, well, Martha Stewart’s stint in prison has changed things – now prisons have ‘ambiance’! LOL 

Apollo clarifies the kids “will not have to endure that prison atmosphere.”

“The fact that she [Phaedra] knows that. The fact that her legal team knows that – it shouldn’t be a problem seeing the kids in the near future,” hopes Apollo

TMZ asked how Apollo maintains a relationship with his sons from behind bars. “To squash some of the allegations, we do not FaceTime and I do not receive care packages from them. For the most part I do call like once a month, maybe twice, depending on my schedule.” Depending on his schedule – what exactly does Apollo having going on that doesn’t permit time to phone his kids?! 

“There’s a re-validation time – it’s on the 16th of every month so that’s when I get my phone minutes in – I normally try to reach out to them then depending on the schedule. You know, people are busy at my house,” adds Apollo. “I would like to speak to them more, but I kinda gotta be understanding of everyone’s schedule and they’re in school and they gotta go to sleep early for school as well.” 

On the status of his marriage with Phaedra, Apollo admits, “I really don’t know.” 

“We’re still married on paper. We haven’t had an opportunity to sit down and talk,” Apollo elaborated. “I don’t really know what’s going on – there’s been a lot of speculation… “

“There has been talk that Phaedra wants to file for divorce, right?” TMZ interjects. “Yeah, exactly,” Apollo confirms. “That’s where she stands. And she has spoke to my legal team as well about divorce, and you know, it’s up in the air.” 

That ambiguity is not sitting well with Apollo. “I need closure in my life right now. I have a lot of ill feelings…,” he complains.

“I’m very frustrated and angry, so I don’t want to say the wrong thing prematurely, but at the end of the day I think it’s time for her and I to sit down and just figure out if we’re gonna move forward, or just move on with different relationships or so forth,” says Apollo. “But it needs to be done in a manner which the children understand, then we can come together on a mature level to have some type of understanding or reconciliation.” 

Well, well…  how nice – a little prison-side chat with one of reality TV’s favorite convicts. Happy New Year to us!

I think Phaedra will ABSOLUTELY file for divorce but is trying to iron-out an ironclad deal. Regarding seeing his kids, Apollo should have thought of that before his ego squandered everything by breaking the law. No sympathy from me Boo Boo! 

TELL US – SHOULD PHAEDRA BRING THE KIDS TO VISIT APOLLO? WILL SHE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE DIVORCE?

Jennifer Lopez talks 2016: It will be my year, there were a lot of misconceptions about me before 'American Idol'

K. Michelle Takes Her Famed Booty Down A Few Notches

Reality star and R&B songstress K. Michelle (pictured top after surgery) has tweaked her famed bootylicious bod and just revealed the results to her legion of fans via Instagram.  The petite star of VH1’s, K. Michelle: My Life decided to take her bodacious booty down a few notches by reducing the surgical enhancement to a size that is more realistic.  Apparently, as a business woman on the rise, K. Michelle felt she was not being taken seriously because of her almost cartoonish bodily proportions.

Following her butt reduction, K. Michelle posted a pic of her reworked backside with a caption that read:

“Betsy is smaller, but she still makes a statement,” she captioned the photo. “Sometimes less is more. Not finished yet, but feeling liberated getting back to myself.” 

km

Over the years, K. Michelle has come under fire via social media for her exaggerated butt.  Folks questioned whether her behind was fake or real because of its large size.  She would oftentimes respond to her critics venomously, maintaining that her backside was authentic and free of injections or implants but did admit to getting a butt lift.  Then back in November, she sat down with TV personality B. Scott to discuss her latest and greatest plans and mentioned, how the wheels were already in motion to reduce her ‘enhanced’ backside in her quest for more ‘normal’ curves.

Erika Girardi’s First Impressions Of Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, And Eileen Davidson; Not OK With Munchausen Talk

Erika Girardi

Erika Girardi

In this week’s blog, new housewife Erika Girardi shared her first impressions of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars. She also called out Yolanda Foster‘s so-called friends for their chatter about Munchausen syndrome, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given their history.

“I’m glad Yolanda suggested that we get together at this charming park by her house,” shared Erika. “It was nice to get her out and walking and to meet Kyle. Yolanda was right; we both have a lot in common. We’re the same age, we were both young moms, and we work in entertainment.”

Erika’s First Impressions:

Kyle Richards: “Kyle is a lot of fun; she likes to dance and she knows how to have a a good time. I appreciate that while being a true Hollywood kid she’s still very real. I find that refreshing.”

Lisa Vanderpump: “She’s very well put together. I have always appreciated a quick wit and a spirited conversation, something you just don’t find too often in this town. And by the way things are going, I can feel her testing my mettle.”   

Eileen Davidson: “Eileen is everything an Emmy Award-winning soap opera actress should be — tall, blonde, beautiful, and more importantly, you can tell she has a kind heart.”

Erika‘s first impressions of Kyle, Lisa, and Eileen were positive; however, she did take issue the mention of Munchausen syndrome.

“But beyond the cheeky back and forth about my appearance or my marriage, which is a 16-year-old conversation for me, there is something bigger going on and that is the suggestion that Yolanda has Munchausen syndrome,” added Erika. “While it is fun sport to tease me about the way I look or snicker at/about my marriage, it is not OK to question Yolanda‘s degree of illness or her mental state, especially if these women are friends.”

Teresa Giudice’s Post Prison Video to Fans: “It’s Gonna Be a Great 2016!”

As “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast member, Teresa Giudice, tries to nestle back into her life, after spending nearly a year in prison on numerous fraud charges, she decided to video herself sharing an uplifting message to all of her supporters.

In typical Teresa fashion, she appeared upbeat and optimistic.  Sporting a completely made up face and a holiday backdrop that featured a towering decorated tree and entryway, Teresa wanted to assure her fans that all was well on the Giudice estate.  “Hi everyone, I’m back! I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year,” Teresa said in an exclusive video message to Bravo’s The Daily Dish. “It’s gonna be a great 2016. Love, love, love you all.”

Teresa was just released from a federal correctional facility in Connecticut on December 23.  She was sentenced to 15 months after pleading guilty to tax fraud but was reportedly released early for good behavior.  The reality star-turned author spent the holidays with her four daughters, husband Joe and extended family members.  Teresa’s joyous family reunion will be short-lived however as Joe, who also pleaded guilty to fraud charges is set to begin his 41-month prison term in March of next year.  

RELATED:  Teresa Giudice Is Free To Go Out Under House Arrest…Well, Almost…

Meanwhile, the Montville Township, New Jersey mom is on home confinement and can only leave her manse for work obligations, doctor’s appointments, select family functions,  grocery shopping and to attend meetings with her legal team.  Each of Teresa’s outings have to first be approved by the Bureau of Prisons and she also has to wear an ankle bracelet device that transmits her whereabouts back to her parole officer.

Teresa’s home imprisonment is set to end on February 5 of next year and reportedly, she does not have any plans whatsoever to break the constraints that she is currently under.

Yolanda Foster Is Trying Not To Judge Her Co-Stars’ Questioning Of Her Illness; Spends Holidays With Her Kids

yolanda-foster-hadid-kids

Yolanda gives her children her will

Kim Richards is probably super thankful that Yolanda Foster’s health and battle with Lyme Disease has taken over as the central focus of this season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  It could’ve gone the other way and we’d be talking about Kim’s sobriety and arrests for the entire season.  I’m not sure yet which one is worse. 

Yolanda had a lot to say this week, blogging a hella long one!  In it, she talked about her journey with Lyme, her appreciation of those who don’t judge her, and more. She started off sharing a bit about her magical holiday in Colorado with her three kids.  “I’m in the snow with my children. We had a beautiful, quiet, no gifting, no stress Christmas; we cooked, ate too much, and played lots of games. Our family tradition of handwritten letters to each other is the one thing I keep close to my heart as there is no greater gift than feeling appreciated by your loved ones. Even though it’s freezing cold, it feels good to be close to nature and the infectious energy that comes with having everyone together under one roof–keeping up is worth the fight. I want to be as present as I can be right here, right now, as I know these are precious moments as I watch my kids grow. The holidays come and go so quickly–this break from my disciplined routine is a treat.” 

yolanda-foster-hadid-kids

Yolanda reflects on all that has changed over the past year, “Last Christmas I was fighting for my life, hospitalized until the day before Christmas, and headed for the worst six months of this four-year journey. The show tonight took me back to early summer when I felt so much fear of the unknown. I had just done the Adipose Stem Cell treatment, which was a much bigger procedure then I had imagined.” 

She says that she’s trying not to judge her co-stars’ questioning of her illness.  “I am trying to watch the show with an open heart and no judgement of anyone in it as I choose to share my journey in order to bring awareness to Lyme disease and invisible chronic disease in general. I’m well aware that it opened up a storm of debate, but as long as we can speak with kindness and good intent, I believe that my quest for a cure will be rewarded one day.” 

Yolanda doesn’t think anyone else is in a place to truly get what shes’ going through, “Only those who have experienced an invisible illness can identify with my journey. Losing my brain function and the ability to participate in life made me lose my identity. I had no choice but to buckle down, surrender, and connect to the deepest part of my soul. Only in solitude could I hear the little bit of my spirit that was still alive and willing to fight.” 

She continued, “Trying to participate and integrate my girlfriend Erica [Erika] in the group was a challenge. Watching this segment made be realize how much progress I have made since then, and for that I am grateful.”

RELATED: DAVID FOSTER SPEAKS OUT AFTER DIVORCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Yolanda has David’s insistence for a full body scan to thank for discovering her leaky implant,  “After being properly diagnosed three years ago, I followed strict doctor’s orders 24/7 but made very slow progress as we slowly uncovered the mystery of my failing health.   Last June, David woke up one morning and said, “We are not doing any more treatments until you get a full body scan.” That scan probably saved my life, as doctors found free-floating silicone under my left arm pit, under my right clavicle bone, and under my rib cage.   None of these findings changed my late stage Lyme disease diagnosis, but it was a good explanation of why three years of hard work had not paid off yet. It was a big breakthrough in my case at a time that I was just existing. At that point I honestly was not sure how and if I was going to pull through.” 

yolanda foster lyme disease

Yolanda did not want to seem so dramatic when she talked about her will with Gigi, Anwar and Bella.  It just sort of happened that way.  “I am all about clarity and always want to strive to be a responsible parent and not leave uncertainty for my children. Seeing their faces tonight broke my heart. I did not intend to have such a dramatic moment, and discussing a will is obviously a very uncomfortable discussion to be had at anytime. I was afraid and had put off the awkward and uncomfortable conversation until the last night before my surgery. I needed to do my living will and put my business affairs in order for my children and my family that I support in Holland. I have witnessed people not plan accordingly and leave their partners and family in difficult situations which can be avoided by being organized.” 

On the subject of wills, Yolanda shared that she gave her inheritance to her brother, “My father died when I was seven years old. When my brother and I turned 21 we received a small financial gift. It was such an important and memorable gesture to know that he actually planned for us. I was already financially independent at that age and ended up giving the gift to my brother to invest in his business, but I will never forget how that made me feel.”

On her journey to health, “I am so blessed to have had a successful explant surgery with Dr.Feng, and hopefully I’m on my way to a full recovery from a very complex and multi-faceted health collision.” 

Yo still can’t believe she succumbed to the pressure of Botox and the like, “Looking back, what was I ever thinking putting breast implants or the poison of Botox in my so perfectly healthy body? The truth is I wasn’t thinking but rather brainwashed by society’s perception of what a perfect woman should look like and into believing that any of these beautifying enhancements were safe.” 

On breastfeeding and silicone, “I clearly remember asking my doctor if it was safe to breastfeed with silicone implants. Now, 20 years later, there are plenty of studies confirming the danger of silicone toxicity and its effect on the immune system. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, class-action lawsuits claimed that Dow Corning’s silicone breast implants caused systemic health issues which lead to numerous lawsuits and a multi-billion class action settlement.” 

Yolanda Foster #NoMoreImplants
“I guess I had to learn the hard way, and I am just so grateful to be back to the “ORIGINAL 1964,” embracing myself with all my flaws and imperfections in the way God intended me to be.” 

On her holiday trip with the kids, “Tonight we went for a sleigh ride under the full moon. The freedom of gliding on ice and letting go of control is not always easy for me, but I’m practicing letting go, and that gives me strength! I didn’t get a picture of this amazing moment but the image and experience is vivid inside my mind and heart in a space of gratitude for the best moment of 2015 with my children by my side.” 

Despite the hellish few years, she’s grateful for having lived through them, “Whatever happened over these past couple of years, I am thankful for where it brought me; I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Obviously I had hoped to share with you a more glamorous journey, but these are the cards life dealt me, and even though you see me struggle, you will never see me quit.  Again, thank you for all your love, prayers, and support. I appreciate your open mind without judgment more than you will ever know.”

Yolanda also directed fans to read her friend Ellie’s blog (which we posted yesterday).  “Something I haven’t been able to put into words perfectly was done so by my girlfriend Ellie this week. I wanted to share with you her blog post, which shows how a lot of people feel while suffering from the inside out…”

Eileen Davidson: ‘I Dare Anyone To Accuse Yolanda Foster Of Not Really Being Sick’

From Erika Girardi sharing the age of her hubby to Yolanda Foster revealing that Bella and Anwar have Lyme disease to Eileen Davidson sticking her designer pump in her mouth, there were quite a few bombs dropped among the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this week.

Eileen described this episode as “a learning experience” in her blog.

“One, I learned that even swans have emergency rooms. Really, Hanky? Not nice to bite the hand that literally feeds you! Get well soon, and learn some swan manners before you’re singing your swan song. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.),” joked Eileen. “Two, during the tour of CBS, I learned that Lisa [Vanderpump] (or Eve Harrington as I’ll now call her) wouldn’t hesitate to steal my job. Three, I find out Lisa [Rinna] has had a relationship with her bikini waxer for longer than I have known my husband. Four, I also learned that now I can do anything I have ever wanted, because Lisa R had her fanny waxed on national TV.”

Eileen continued, “Finally, number five, when we were officially introduced to Erika (and her $189,000 ring) and the age difference between her and her husband Tom is brought up, I learned we all have the worst poker faces on the planet. But all that seems unimportant compared to the real issues here.”

The “real issues” revolve around Yolanda. <sigh> “Go get a glass of wine, and please excuse me for a moment while I take my foot out of my mouth,” Eileen said first. “Maybe get a snack, too, because my foot is halfway down my throat.”

Eileen clarified, “During drinks at the Sofitel, Yolanda brought up Taylor questioning her illness to Lisa R. I misunderstood! I assumed she heard about what Lisa R had said at LVP’s when we met the ponies, so I jumped in with damage control. I thought, ‘Lisa R is out of town and has not gotten to talk and apologize to Yo yet.’ So I felt it was my job, as both of their friends, to explain.”

“Please believe me, if I had known Yo was only hearing what Taylor had said, I would have never brought it up,” insisted Eileen. “Especially when I saw how uncomfortable this information made her. I would have left that convo for Lisa R to have. My only intention was to help. So why do I feel like I’ve only stoked the fire? Or started a new one?”

What stood out to me: Yolanda could NOT get out of there quick enough once Munchausen syndrome was mentioned. I don’t think she left because she felt “uncomfortable” per se, but because she didn’t have an icy, manipulative retort thought out for that particular accusation.

Eileen emphasized with Yolanda over the talk with her family about her will.

Yolanda is gearing up to have major surgery. I didn’t understand how intense it was at the time, either. Getting her implants taken out is invasive enough, but removing leakage from her chest cavity and under her arms is a whole new level. It’s not surprising she felt it was time to have a family meeting with her mother and kids,” said Eileen. “Yolanda lost her father young, and she’s trying to take care of the people she loves. Her talk with her kids, and their reaction about the will being discussed, was very intense and extremely moving. I know how hard this conversation can be, despite how important it is.”

It is an important conversation… that should not have happened on camera.

About the “bombshell” that “no one saw coming” about both Bella and Anwar suffering from Lyme disease as well, Eileen shared, “It does shed more light on Yolanda’s fight; she’s not just battling for her health, but for the health of her children. I think her raising awareness of this disease, through whatever outlet (cough cough Instagram) or just being so raw and open about her struggles on the show, makes more sense than ever before. As a mother, I understand fighting for my kids, but the fact of the matter is that I can’t entirely relate to the struggles she’s facing. But I absolutely respect her for it.”

Eileen concluded, “And after seeing [Yolanda] break down while talking to her mother about the surgery, I dare anyone to accuse her of not really being sick.”

What I learned from RHOBH this week: Yolanda‘s manipulation game is MUCH stronger than I ever imagined. I just hope it does not break up Eileen and Lisa Rinna‘s friendship, because they’re magic together.

Brandi Glanville Accuses Lisa Vanderpump Of Using Her For Sympathy After Their Text-To-Tabloid Feud!

Brandi Glanville on Entertainment Tonight

Brandi Glanville on Entertainment Tonight

Brandi Glanville is never one to let go of drama and her truth cannons are always aimed to fire her version of the truth! In the latest she’s back to complaining about Lisa VanderpumpThis time over a rude text message she sent Lisa, which ended up in the tabloids!

Last week Brandi fired off a text to Lisa which said, “Merry Christmas vanderC*nt and yes i am having my moment :) AND it’s amazing!!! How is yours???? hahahahah #karmasabitch Or is it a c-nt?? Hahahaha.” The timing of the text came just after Lisa revealed that her dog, Daddio, the father of Giggy, alopecia-wonder-pom, had passed away. 

Lisa retaliated by putting Brandi on blast on twitter, then TMZ, to accuse Brandi’s “karma” text of being a reference to Daddio’s death. Brandi insists Lisa was well-aware that her text had nothing to do with Daddio’s death, because Brandi is a passionate dog feeces as home decor lover and “doesn’t check in on her [Lisa’s] life”.

Brandi’s nasty text was actually in response to Lisa saying horrible things about her on RealHousewives Of Beverly Hills!

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

“I texted this to her so that not to start a public war but she lives for press and apparently, although distraught over her pets death, she was out at a party and showing everyone the text I sent her,” complains Brandi. “And did what any mature person would do and called TMZ immediately so that she could play the victim and vilify me.” 

Brandi was innocently “wrapping presents” while watching RHOBH. That’s when she heard Lisa’s rude comment, and sent the charming Happy Holidays message

Ah, Brandi the gift that keeps on giving. Or swapped at the White Elephant gift exchange! 

“There have only been three episodes of RHOBH thus far and in each of them either Lisa or Ken has taken a dig at me,” Brandi argues. “I am not on the show to defend myself and I didn’t feel a need to put it on Twitter and make it a public thing but I did feel the need to let her know how I felt about it.”

Brandi all the many awful things she’s said about Lisa and Kyle Richards! Including the time Brandi lied about Lisa filing for bankruptcy. In summation, Brandi has NO BUSINESS chastising people over saying things about her when she isn’t there to defend herself. 

And since Brandi is taking the high road, she accuses Lisa of lying about her dog. “Last year when we shot RHOBH together I did not know her to have a dog named Daddio at all.” 

See, Brandi is still “very close” with “everyone” who works at RHOBH, says Lisa had an ulterior motive when running to the tabloids! Brandi knows Lisa is “distraught over her backlash” she’s getting for doubting Yolanda Foster‘s Lyme Disease

Lisa “needs public sympathy so she is making up this story claiming that I wrote the text [to be hateful about the death of her dog Daddio] — a dog that I didn’t even know existed,” complains Brandi

“When I texted her I was referring to her having her moment and people finally getting to see her for who she is,” brags Brandi

Lisa needs to take responsibility for what she says and stop throwing other people under the bus in order to garnish sympathy,” Brandi tells RumorFix. “And if she doesn’t want me in her life then she needs to stop talking about me so much block my number and move the f**k on because I will always defend myself.”

Well, OK – whatever. When is Brandi going to learn: Lisa has always had fans and haters. I doubt anything related to Brandi or Yolanda is going to change that. But nice job using Lisa for attention, after complaining about Lisa doing the same thing to you!

Cynthia Bailey Insists Peter Thomas Is Very Romantic; Weighs In On Demetria And Kandi’s Music Video

Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas

Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas

Cynthia Bailey shared her thoughts on this week’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta with Bravo, and when she did, she went on and on about how romantic Peter Thomas is. Yeah, OK. Cynthia‘s body language in the photo above just screams, I love my super romantic husband, doesn’t it?

Peter is very romantic and always goes out of his way to make our special moments together memorable,” gushed Cynthia. “I especially loved our “lunch in the park” date because although it was well thought out, it was really sweet and simple. As a matter of fact (after being married for five years), this was one of my favorite dates. Spending quality time together does not always require all the bells and whistles. Sometimes less is so much more.”

When asked if she was hesitant to bring Peter to Kandi Burruss and Demetria McKinney‘s video release party, Cynthia said, “I am never nervous to bring Peter around the ladies, and I was excited to support Kandi and Demetria’s event with my husband on my arm. Peter and I had a great time with everyone. It was a fun date night.”

Huh. If Peter were my husband (not that I’d ever put up with his nonsense), I’d be nervous to bring him around the ladies… All. The. Ladies.

Cynthia said she loved the video and the “catchy” song. “Both of the ladies did an awesome job,” added Cynthia. “Demetria is a smart, beautiful, and talented singer/actress. She is a triple threat and a “no brainer” for Kandi to collaborate with. I can understand why Kandi was reluctant to mix business with pleasure due to past unfavorable experiences. I think this dynamic duo is a win-win, and I wish them success.”

Rob Kardashian Rushed to Hospital, Given Diabetes Diagnosis

rob kardashian

Odd man out Kardashian family member, Rob Kardashian, was reportedly rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after feeling ill this weekend and not improving. When the former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s condition failed to improve, his family thought it best to have him medically evaluated.  A medical examination discovered that Rob is now a diabetic, a condition he was unaware he had. 

Over recent years, Rob has met with more than his fair share of personal battles.  The young Kardashian has gained over 100 pounds, struggled with depression and has seesawed over career decisions.  Once animated and personable, Rob has seemingly faded to black, opting to take himself out of the public eye, despite being encouraged and supported by various family members.  Sister Khloe, who was interviewed by People back in October of this year spoke to the news outlet about her brother stating, “He’s such a great guy. That’s also what’s so infuriating,” Khloé said. “He’s charming, charismatic, everything. But I’m like, where is your will to live? Where is your will to live life? Let’s be around people!”  A close family source also spoke to People recently about the effect Rob’s hermit like existence has had on the famous clan, “Rob is still struggling and it makes the family sad.”

As far as Rob’s hospitalization and immuno-suppressant disease diagnosis, it is not known if whether he has Type I or Type II, the former requiring daily insulin injections, the latter, pills.  Obesity is often a contributing factor towards getting the disease.

RELATED:  Did the Kardashian Clan Wash Their Hands of Scott Disick?

Even though Rob was discharged from the medical facility, according to E! News, he will now have to examine his lifestyle choices very closely if he does not want to wind up back in the hospital.  According to a family insider who spoke to E! News, Rob’s insulin levels were alarmingly high and physicians strongly advised him to consider going the healthy route as far as diet and exercise.  “It was a wake up call,” the insider told E! News.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Recap: Foot In Mouth-Itis

RHOBH recap- Eileen accidentally spills the beans

RHOBH recap- Eileen accidentally spills the beans

On last night’s Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills I learned many important lessons 1) Lyme Disease is airborne via rude comments (and leaky silicone); 2) Gigi Hadid is a child prodigy in the kitchen; 3) Pink heels are a patented trademark and copyright of Lisa Vanderpump; 4) Late-night pharmaceutical commercials are correct: depression hurts; 5) 70 is the new 17 as pertains to male horniness; 6) swan attacks are serious (thriller starring Kim Richards coming soon – Swanado: The Revenge Of Hanky); 7) There is an uglier, more overpriced item in Beverly Hills than $25,000 sunglasses and that is the Cartier Panther ring; And finally 8) Erika Jayne is living out all of our ABBA disco queen fantasies – except we’ve never heard of her. I still like the bitch. She’s fierce. (note sarcasm of my language, but I do like Erika because she’s sassy and not easily intimidated, but still classy). 

OK, well see ya next week – I gotta make sure I didn’t contract Lyme Disease from my TV. Cause like that shit is VIRAL. Even Kyle Richards may have a little bit of Lyme, or Munchausen By Proxy From Friends. I think that’s called ‘Keeping Up With The Vanderpump-itis” and yes, Kyle is quite afflicted! 

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Everything is starting out so well in Beverly Hills – Lisa Rinna visits Kyle By AleneTOOMANYF–KINGMUMUS! and pretends to be ecstatic over the merchandise giving Kyle a segue to talk about her her upcoming PopUp shop in Southampton. LVP will also be there to host a white party after appearing on the cover of a magazine literally no one has heard of, so Kyle decides a little impromptu Hamptons jaunt is in order. Of course Lipsa can drop everything to go. It’s as if she was looking for an excuse to flee the deep woods of Canada. 

Lisa RInna bikini wax

Demonstrating her agony and pain over going to Canada, and forcing us to endure it, Lipsa gets bikini waxed moments before boarding the plane. I need to know Lipsa’s Hooha no times. [“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA” That’s Lipsa laughing unconvincingly at herself.]

Yolanda Foster has roused herself from bed after her rejuvenating vacation with MY KING and the motion of his ocean… liner. With Kyle and Erika at her side Yolanda is subsequently well enough to ramble through a well-manicured park at the speed of old lady on walker. 

Seeing Yolanda out of bed, Kyle acts as if she has just witnessed the second coming of Coco Chanel. She cheers, jumps up and down, shouting enthusiastically, ‘You can do it, Yo! WALK! WALK! WALK!’ 

The reason for Yolanda’s benevolent burst of strength is so Kyle and Erika can meet. They immediately have a half flip-off, which means they’re like friends for lyfe until Kyle gets that stroppy cow drunk and chops off her hair while she’s passed out. (An AHair To Dismember – staring Kim Richards as Erika Giradi. Coming soon to Lifetime!)

After retiring to a bench, Kyle, again, recounts the woes of depression/fibromyalgia/self-absorbeditis/please stop paying attention to Kim ailments she suffered when her mom passed. Also, because depression hurts as much as too-tight Spanx, Kyle had to start wearing kaftans. So HA!

Yolanda talks Bella & Anwar's Lyme with Kyle & Erika

Yolanda is all, well I’ve got a boob job that leaked silicone droplets into my chest cavity, which fused together with the pure perfection of my Master Cleansed and purified air lymph nodes, and turned into diamonds. There isn’t a doctor in California who can fix it, so I must private jet to God-forsaken CLEVELAND, where they don’t even have colonics! Also! Also! Woe is Yolanda – she gave Bella and Anwar depressed immune systems because she nursed them with implants. Those depressed immune systems somehow turned into Lyme because they lived on a horse farm. Gigi, naturally, remains perfectly uncorrupted so we can all bask in her lemony halo to reflect on our own inferiority. 

Kyle’s face says, ‘Da hell!? I thought KIM’s rambles made no sense?! Yolanda must only have 60% brain function!’ Erika smiles vacantly into the distance and visualizes patting the puss. 

First of all – Kyle had never heard that Bella and Anwar had Lyme. Second of all, Kyle is now worried that after touching Lisa’s mini horses she may have contracted Lyme. In fact, she have also gotten it from playing Littlest Pet Shoppe Ponies with Portia last week! Kyle runs home as fast as her snow-white sneakers can carry her, but not before accepting an invite for a girls night prior to Yolanda hovercoptering on lavender-scented compressed air to Cleveland for her surgery.

Lisa Vanderpump with Swan

LVP also has issues – Hanky is ill and biting the hand that feeds him and must visit the vet. Lisa and Ken wrangle Hanky into a car, stuff him into a leather-lined, diamond-studded, swan case which plays soothing mood music. Hanky is biting all the way. The vet gives administers antibiotics for Hanky. Lisa gets some Xanax because in the absence of grandchildren Hanky has become Lisa’s surrogate. I’m getting worried here. Lisa already lives on a moat – now she’s turning Villa Rosa into Lisa’s Arc. Ken – time to intervene. Especially if she starts buying pairs of Cartier Panther rings!

After Hanky Panky business Lisa and her assistant Kyle visit Eileen Davidson on the Young & The Restless set. Here Lisa reveals her dreams of living out her own soap opera, which includes killing off Eileen, then assuming her identity, but first Lisa will be undercover as Eve Harrington, a cleaning lady suffering from a dastardly vending machine affliction.

But seriously – HOW FUN was this?! Touring the CBS set, digging through Eileen’s dressing room, trying to put $100s in the vending machine (“Press A-2 for the tuna tarte tarte”) – this is what I want to see on Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

All good things must come to an end when the ladies convene in Eileen’s dressing room and start talking about Yolanda.  Mainly because they are worried that Lipsa’s Munchausen comments will come back to bite her, swan-style. It was nice to see the women defending her, and I like when we witness real friendships on these shows. That evening everyone will meet Erika, so Kyle fills them in on some details. Kyle and Erika met for drinks and genuinely seem to like each other. They were both young moms. We learn Erika’s son is a 23-year-old cop. Interesting… 

At girl’s night, RAWR! are Erika and Lisa’s claws out! These two alpha-bitches are circling each other, diamond-studded daggers in their eyes, sizing the other’s gems up, sniffing out the competition. What they smelled was the scent of money, Hermes, and hubris, but ultimately kindred spirit. 

First Lisa compares Erika to a Barbie and wonders if she can play with her in absence of grandchildren or swans? When Lisa notices Erika is wearing hot pink shoes her feathers ruffle. Erika, too, is on her toes –  her panther ring baring its $189,000 teeth as a reminder of what this bitch did to get those baubles. “It’s what we all do,” she hisses. I imagine Erika’s hair morphing into a viper, coiling calmly around her neck, the veins of which are made of solid gold. But then Erika laughs and it sounds exactly like Lisa’s swan honking!

Erika Jayne is introduced

The ladies are equally curious about “Erika Jayne,” the secret disco queen prancing in their midst. When Erika calmly reveals that her husband is 76, mouths drop and suddenly it makes sense: the big ring, the dancing queen career – gold digging deep, but Erika and Tom have been married for 16 years and she’s not going anywhere… without her half!

This is cue for Lisa to quiz Erika about the Secret Sex Lives of The Man In His 70’s, so Lisa knows what she’s in for! Ken, with his robotically enhanced hips, has gotten randier lately. Eileen chokes on some class as Kyle demonstrates hip thrusting. Erika confirms she is very satisfied with Tom – Viagra not needed.

I personally cannot wait until Lisa and Erika become the best of bosom-buddies. These two savvy swans know how to play the game and I believe they’ll form a dynamic alliance. Or at least that is my most sincere hope! Let’s prematurely dub them “Leriska.” Sounds so Game Of Thrones, doesn’t it?! Checkmate Bitches – starring Kim Richards as Lisa Vanderpump, the phony restauranteur with a secret past and secret agenda! 

Poor Kyle was so out of Lisa and Erika’s league. And poor Yolanda, not getting enough attention next to the two shiny tridents, sniffles about feeling sick. That’s when Kyle drops the bomb about Bella and Anwar having Lyme. Lisa is shocked to silence. As a long-time close friend of Mohamed, who has known the children for years, Lisa never heard they had Lyme. Suddenly Lyme is the reason Bella dropped out of school and quit horseback ridging – because Lyme made her “miscalculate” things. 

A charming conversation about Ken’s birthday party suddenly turned dastardly when Yolanda mentions knowing Taylor Armstrong was talking about her… to Lipsa. Eileen, temporarily unnerved by the power glares Lisa and Erika were silently aiming at each other, misunderstands and thinks Yolanda was referring to Lipsa’s Munchausen conversation during pony petting. 

Insert Louboutin into mouth. Wedge deep. Eileen starts a long protracted explanation of how Lipsa didn’t mean it that way, Lipsa was just reacting to other people gossiping about how Yolanda is faking her illness. Since Yolanda is well-aware everyone in Malibu is questioning, so they need to have a conversation.

Kyle Richards is shocked by Eileen's reveal

Kyle froze. Lisa cut Eileen off, graciously, to tell inform her that Yolanda was actually referring to Taylor talking to Lipsa DURING Ken’s party. Poor Eileen. Yolanda pretends to be indifferent, because she’s focusing on her upcoming explant surgery.

So that was the most awkward girls night I’ve ever seen. Not counting the one whee Brandi threw wine in Eileen’s face. Maybe Eileen should refrain from girl’s nights from now on?

I feel bad for Eileen – I believe she was genuinely trying to help, and was defending Lipsa, not throwing her under the bus, but as we know Yolanda is not the type of friend you can have an honest conversation with. If Yolanda doesn’t like what you say or think, she ices you out faster than her cryogenic glass fridge turns lemons into sorbet!

Speaking of Yolanda’s fridge, in preparation for Yolanda’s surgery departure, Gigi, Bella, and Anwar are home – not in the depressing divorce condo, but in the Malibu Love McNest. Yolanda’s mom is also visiting. 

The family is cooking while extolling the difficulties of modeling – you have to look good and be nice! Regarding Gigi, when she’s not a supermodel, or world’s most amazing daughter and Yolanda’s idol, she’s also a fantastic chef. Gigi conquered risotto at age 6; now at 21 she’s mastered tomato soup and grilled cheeses on the George Foreman. 

Yolanda and her mommy venture to the lemon grove where Yolanda reminisces about her glory days as mistresses of the mansion. David, I notice, is not present as Yolanda prepares to for surgery. Where is the Da to Yolanda’s Yo? #YoDa

Sidenote: Are the producers of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills fascinated with Yolanda’s lizard feet? We are treated to close-ups nearly every episode! We get it, Yolanda has toes. 

Yolanda gives her children her will

Anwar and Bella conquer their Lyme to run up the hill carrying lunch. Mid-soup, Yolanda whips out a copy of her will tells her children what to expect if if she dies getting her implants removed and then she asks that they take care of Yolanda’s mommy. It was totally unnerving and inappropriate for TV – Yolanda’s children, particularly Bella and Gigi, were really upset!  

BTW: Since Yolanda is going to be in Ohio maybe she can pick up a mini horse while she’s out there?

TELL US – IN A BATTLE OF ERIKA VS. LISA – WHO WOULD WIN? WAS EILEEN BEING CATTY OR A GOOD FRIEND BY TELLING YOLANDA WHAT LISA RINNA SAID?
